Elzybells Challenge 43

Hi ya pals! This week is full of fun stuff for me and it's time for another fun Elzybells Challenge. Challenge 43 is to make a project using a door hanger. I can't believe I have never made one before. I think these would be great to hang on your co-workers office doors for birthdays and holiday greetings. I gotta get me some more of these things. I am using the wonderful door hangers available from Elzybells. They are a wonderful quality and I love how easy it was to decorate. I started off by lining up my door hanger to the backside upper left corner of my patterned paper. I then traced the inside of the door hanger with a pencil and trimmed out the center with detail scissors. I added my adhesive and positioned my patterned paper on top. I cut the layering pieces, distressed the edges, added some faux stitching and adhered it onto my apron lace cut border. Wow! This project was getting done at a record pace. LOL! I stamped the sweet Impromptu Airshow stamp for my main image and colored it in with Copic Markers. I matted the image onto some rich Chocolate Brownie textured cardstock. I added the "thinking happy thoughts' sentiment from the wonderful Fervour Sentiments set. I finished the card off with some red stitched ribbon and a Chocolate Brownie button. Hope to see your fantastic door hanger creations in the Everything Elzybells Forum.
